[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 6516232, member: 44728"] In that situation, he knew that it was so wet that he had little chance to get through, even in four wheel drive. Being four wheel drive, if he got bogged, he knew that the Combine would have become even more bogged and probably too far into the bog to get a tractor and chain near enough to put him out backwards. Also risking damage to the Combine by doing so. His comment about sacking the driver for having it in four wheel drive was probably an exaggeration. But he like a lot of us back then had had a gut full of having to harvest in such conditions. No doubt that having a four wheel drive combine does help on hills and I have plenty of them here. But the hills don’t present a boggy situation. It’s the flatter, low lying land that posed the threat of getting boggy and potentially causing Combines to get stuck One thing is for sure: I don’t ever want to see another harvesting situation like that one again. But not having a four wheel drive combine, fitting wider, low ground pressure rear wheels was then and continues to be a massive help. [/QUOTE]
